Lets make a connection, baby.

I never got around to posting last week, so this is a bit late.

I've been in school for three weeks now (Today starts the fourth if it helps make more sense) and I've begun to notice something that to me, while depressing, is also interesting.

To recap, I'm taking a basic Health class on Mondays, and a class called "Understanding Cinema" on Wednesdays. Since I've been out of school for so long I opted to take only 2 classes so that I didn't overwork myself. One Academic, and one class for my Major.

The thing I've noticed and which I think is both depressing and strange is that I am actually looking forward to school on Mondays because I enjoy my health class, and I don't enjoy going to school on Wednesdays because my Cinema class is dreadful. The instructor drones on and on, he insults the students through jokes, he repeats himself, brings Politics into the mix, and just overall his teaching method is a bit...uncomfortable. Plus the seats hurt my ass and we always end up staying after the class gets out because he talks so much.

Meanwhile, the Health class is informative, the teacher is kind, and it lets out early, or at the very least on time. I like being able to say with confidence that I WILL be home around 10 on Mondays, where as my other class sometimes stretches me to getting home at 10:30 or later. Its really frustrating.

However, despite the fact that I enjoy Health more, I feel no connection to any of my classmates in the Health class. In fact I don't know a single person's name in that class, and have talked to no one besides the teacher. In Cinema, I talk with a lot of the students around me about all sorts of things both related and non-related to the course.

Its an interesting comparison between the two classes, how I enjoy one for its education and the other for socializing. At least its interesting to me.
